Insolvency, Misfeasance and Director Disqualification Proceedings

CTM advises directors, shareholders and individuals involved in company and personal insolvency proceedings, including matters arising from liquidator investigations, misfeasance claims and director disqualification.

We act where insolvency proceedings intersect with tax issues, HMRC conduct, or allegations of misconduct, and where the consequences include personal liability, disqualification or litigation.

Our Work Includes

• director disqualification proceedings
• defence of misfeasance claims by liquidators
• allegations of breach of duty or improper conduct
• recovery actions against directors and shareholders
• insolvency proceedings involving tax liabilities
• coordination with HMRC investigations and disputes

Misfeasance and Liquidator Claims

We advise on misfeasance allegations brought by liquidators, including claims alleging misuse of company funds, breach of fiduciary duty, or conduct said to have caused loss to creditors.

Misfeasance claims are often fact-sensitive and can involve overlapping issues of insolvency law, tax treatment and director conduct. Early strategic advice can be critical in limiting exposure or resolving claims without protracted litigation.

Director Disqualification

CTM advises directors facing disqualification proceedings, including cases linked to insolvency, tax matters or HMRC-related conduct.

We advise on:

• defence of disqualification applications
• negotiation of undertakings
• evidential and procedural challenges
• coordination with related tax or insolvency proceedings

Approach

Our approach focuses on:

• early assessment of personal exposure
• analysis of liquidator and HMRC evidence
• strategic engagement to limit escalation
• coordination of insolvency, tax and litigation risk

Where proceedings cannot be resolved through agreement, we advise on litigation and Tribunal proceedings, as required.

Who We Act For

• company directors and former directors
• shareholders
• individuals facing insolvency-related claims
• advisers seeking specialist input on complex matters
